Creating Chemistry

by Kat Bastion

When teasing out the essence of characters, an exquisite chemistry between a hero and heroine begins with strong emotional tension. The best stories launch in the fragile moments when one or both are rocked to the core—by interior or exterior conflict—and our delicious adventure is their journey to stable ground.

By delving deep into raw feelings, fear, desire, love, lust, hope, and faith all become proving grounds for plot exploration and character development. With great emotional pulling, shoving, entangling, and unraveling, an author exposes their darkest selves and brightest aspirations.

In Bound by Wish and Mistletoe, the determined Susanna escapes her tormenting past and explodes into the scene, nearly trampling the commanding Robert. But it’s in the moments and days to come, as her bold defiance clashes with his absolute dominance, that sparks fly and passion erupts.

Elusive and intangible, chemistry builds with each successive event filled with mindless reaction and inexplicable attraction, igniting the very oxygen between our hero and heroine into flame. Drawing them ever closer. Luring us into their story.

Isobel MacInnes wakes up in present-day California, lunches in medieval Scotland, and by ten days’ end, falls in love with a man and his country, only to lose them in a heart-wrenching twist of fate . . . Found in the arms of her second soul mate . . . Forced to balance the delicate strands of time between two millennia . . . Shocked by revelations rewriting the very foundations of history . . . of everything. Isobel, a rising-star archaeology student, is dropped into two ancient worlds without warning . . . or her permission. Her fiery spirit resists the dependency thrust upon her. Amid frustration at her lack of control, she helplessly falls in love. Twice. She struggles to adjust to the unimaginable demands of two leaders of men—a laird in the thirteenth-century Highlands and a Pict chieftain in a more ancient Scotland. Isobel transforms from an academic, hell-bent on obtaining archaeological recognition, to a woman striving to care for those she loves, and ultimately . . . into a fearless warrior risking everything to protect them.
